answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p>We condemn all violence and all incitement to commit violence. We are concerned by reports of radicalisation, which may, in turn, encourage violence in the region. We have seen reports referring to Hamas. Hamas must renounce violence, recognise Israel and accept previously signed agreements. We have also received reports on the role school textbooks play in this area. An extensive study, conducted by a joint Israeli and Palestinian research team in 2013, found the need for textbooks on both sides to do far more to promote a more positive portrayal of each other, reflecting the principles of co-existence, tolerance, justice and human dignity.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 09/02/2016 14:23:42 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

uin	25987
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned by the recent violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Since the start of the current violence, Ministers and officials have spoken regularly to both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority on the urgent need to de-escalate the tensions. We understand, and share, the deep frustration on all sides at the lack of progress on the Middle East Peace Process. The current violence underlines that a just and lasting resolution that ends the occupation and delivers peace for both Israelis and Palestinians is long overdue.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 09/02/2016 14:22:17 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
